who is the us playing in the round of 32
The U.S. will play a third-place team from Group B, E, F, I, or J in the Round of 32, but the exact opponent is not locked in yet. The most likely matchup right now appears to be against the winner of Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. Qatar, depending on how the other groups finish.
What’s settled
- The U.S. has already clinched a Round of 32 spot.
- As Group D winner, it is drawn against one of the qualified third-place teams from those five groups.
- The match is scheduled for July 1 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
Why it’s still uncertain
The opponent depends on the final third-place qualification scenarios across the other groups, so the matchup can change until those group results are complete. One report currently points to Bosnia and Herzegovina or Qatar as the likeliest opponent, but that is still a projection, not a final assignment.
